Tokala's Anakin ROTS Review.
« on: November 26, 2005, 08:18:57 PM »
Well, i got my Anakin ROTS today. what can i say? i love it. It has an awesome glow and its soooo light. i love the power up/down and clash effects. Mine is like the lightest so far out of my friends. So i guess ill go into pros and cons right now.


PRO'S:[/u]
-Beautiful Hilt.
-Very Light
-Bright Blade!
-LOUD!!!
-New people have trouble looking for the on/off button (why is that a pro? cuz its funny watching!)
-Only 3 batteries (reason its very light)
-and it was Anakins saber BABY!!!

CON'S[/u] (this is gonna be hard lol)
-sometimes have to hit a bit harder to make the clash sounds than other times.
-sometimes hit the on/off button (not alot tho)
-Distracts you when trying to do things.
-Dark spot in the middle of my blade.

I give it 9/10

well. theres my review. i might add to it later on or so.

Pics might be up later tonight if i can find my camera.
if not in a few days and hopefully a Video soon.

thank you for reading. Peace out!

*EDIT*

If you want to wipe down your saber a good MircoFibre Cloth works Great!, wont leave any little scratches and takes 100% of the grim or w/e it is away. I wipe mine down when i see alot of finger prints lol

Congrats!  I agree with just about all of your review.  The only other con that I found was the use of plastic on those rounded tabs that stick out near the top of the hilt.  I really wish that MR would have used metal.

I'm pretty sure that they're plastic.  If you sort of biff them with your fingernail they don't sound like metal.  I would suggest that you bite them to find out, but that would be absolutley ridonkulous.  Only a lunatic would make such a request.

Hahaha, ya I no how you feel. I get distracted by mine which i don't even have yet. All I do is think when is going to get here. And when I wake up or come home and check if it's here or something and it's not I get all sad. :'(

I know what your saying man.  It rules when I look out my front window and see that long MR FX box sitting on the front porch.  I eagerly await my daughter's nap on those days. I can't light up an FX with her in the room, the sounds scare the heck out of her.

Greetings from Holland.

I found your review very fresh.
I laughed a lot.
I have to wait till Monday if I'm lucky.
My Ani and Vader hit the Netherlands on the 26 Nov
 Can I skip today?

Oh yes another thing.
Those plastic part on the Ani.,... MR replaced it for metal, you can read it somewhere on this forum.
The saber is a bit heavier now.

When did they do this?  I looked around and can't find any reference to this within the forum.  Just to make sure we're talking about the same piece, I circled the part of the hilt that was made of plastic on my Anakin ROTS.
